This subject is so frustrating to me. W...Hey Ruth,<br />This subject is so frustrating to me. Why do people think that just because we are working for a charitable organization we should take "charity" as our pay? We all work hard, probably harder than most people to make a difference, yet it's never recognized that way. Realizing that non profit organizations enjoy government contracts and that tax revenues are set aside to provide those contracts, why is it that its always at it's barest minimum? there's never enough money to get the organization afloat or pay the proper salaries to talented employees. What gets me sometimes is that city workers also enjoy their salaries from tax payers money, yet they are paid fairly well, get overtime, don't have to worry or beg for donations, don't have to worry that if we don't have a successful fundraising year the doors of their employment may close. I'm not saying that they should, I'm just saying that no one should and that non-profits shouldn't be looked at as the city's "second class citizen" but a viable entity that address the social "ills" and problems in our society. And for goodness sake, make it all equitable so that we can even do a better job, spend more time in our programs, instead of spending valuable time begging for a dollar! Just saying....CandaceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118507556959023624noreply@blogger.com
